How safe is Czech Republic?

Safety at night:Safe

Czech Republic, especially cities like Prague, is generally safe to walk around at night. However, like any other place, it's better to stay in well-lit areas and avoid visiting deserted places or parks late at night. Public transport, even late at night, is considered safe. Instances of serious crime are relatively low. However, one should always remain alert for potential pickpockets in crowded places.

Public transportation:Very safe

Public transportation in the Czech Republic, including trams, buses, and the metro, are relatively safe for solo female travelers. They are generally well-maintained, punctual, and frequently used by locals and tourists alike. It is rare to encounter major safety issues. However, as with any public space, it's still necessary to stay vigilant about your belongings to minimise the risk of pickpocketing.

Street harassment:Low

In general, the Czech Republic is quite safe for solo female travelers and incidents of street harassment are relatively low. It's a progressive country with respectful citizens. However, usual precautions should be taken, especially during night or in less busy areas.

Petty crimes:Low

Petty crimes such as pickpocketing or bag-snatching do exist in the Czech Republic, especially in crowded areas and on public transport. However, the rate of these crimes is relatively low compared to many other European destinations. As a solo female traveler, it is always important to stay vigilant, keep your belongings secure, and be aware of your surroundings at all times.

Prague, Family travel

My trip to Prague was very safe. The transportation in the city is great and it's easy to get around - I went by both trams and metro. The tickets were easy to purchase and objectively cheap - I recommend buying the weekend option with the app. Local people are really kind, especially the ones working in museums and art galleries. Whenever they saw that I was by myself they were delighted to see someone interested in art in history and gave me so many helpful tips. Overall fantastic trip, I would totally recommend it for a first solo destination.

This city is insanely beautiful, every corner has something to catch your eyes. The prices are so much cheaper than other European places. And, it's so easy to go from one place to another one ! I will definitly recommend anyone to come here !

A chateau and a castle, lovely riverside cycle path, very few tourists. The nightlife seems decent, but if you want to get into the hills you have to go somewhere else- it is pretty muh pan flat around here apart from the castle on the hill!

Prague, Family travel

we traveled to prague with my family for a weekend, we might just not have done enough research but as a gallery-enthusiasist, there werent a lot of big galleries, but I loved it still. The whole city seemed really slow, chill and quit, it was amazing. I had to study a bit, and for that I went to the vojanovy sady I loved that park, but the island and other parks were stunning, and overall clean as well

Prague, Group travel

It was a place where I felt safe, and it was very lively at night. Restaurants were common and easy to find, but reservations were necessary. It’s not an overly expensive city; there are affordable options. It was a one-day trip, so I didn’t stay overnight. Transportation was suitable for walking, but we used public transport to get to the castle.

Prague, Group travel

The accommodation was pretty cheap, got an Airbnb for 4 people in the city center for like 40 euros per person for 2 nights. Pretty sweet deal huh? Food was also really cheap, and quite similar to Franconia’s cuisine. Prague is just beautiful, every street every corner. We did a pretty touristy trip and it was nice

I stayed 17 days at the Drunken Monkey hostel in Prague. It's clean, the Ned's are good, and the price is fair, but the kitchen is not equipped. The location is great! Prague is beautiful and safe, I love the location food

Prague, Couple travel

The city was so pretty and safe. The hotel and the restaurants were cheaper than other cities in Europe. At the hotel, we had free breakfast and I think it’s normal in Prague. I recommend too all of you to go to Prague and visit the beautiful city.

Hradec Kralove

I never feel good in a city when it is dark or night already. But at normal daylight time Hradec Králové is a nice place. Definitely reccommend being careful - mainly as a foreigner. And definitely around the main train station!! Never walk there with your headphones on and always look around you. But overall I would say you won't feel unwelcome. I studied there for 3 years and never had a dangerous experience

Újezd u Černé Hory

Újezd is a very very small village inside nature. So there is not much going on. Everyone knows everyone. There is a very little chance for something dangerous. The only thing that can happened is some kind of neighbors fight

About Me

Hiii nice to meet you, Im Klara im student + I work as a English tutor and I also teach in few kindergartens a week. I don’t have much money, but i would love to travel somehow a bit more. And I don’t yet know how it works in here, but i hope this could help me. In future I think i could even host someone here near capital city of Czech Republic (Prague). We live on a slightly bigger plot of land with my mom and have one small apartment yet to be finished and rented out here as a part of our house, and this could be a nice use for it. Anyways i hope i meet some new nice people and maybe even opportunities :3
